Přehled
Hangman is a classic word-guessing game for two players. One player thinks of a word and shows blank spaces for each letter. The other player guesses letters, with wrong guesses adding parts to a 'hangman' drawing. Guess the word before the drawing completes!
Historie
Hangman's origins are unclear, but it has been played since at least the Victorian era. The 'hanging' theme, while morbid, has kept the game memorable for generations of children.
